Best Luxury Safari Lodges
With plenty of options to choose from, selecting your safari accommodation isn't easy. Different lodges can offer different experiences depending on what you are after from your holiday. Some lodges will only have small guest occupancy and offer intimate experiences, whereas other camps will cater for larger groups.
Camps can also be mobile meaning that they are not permanent structures and they will relocate depending on the season and where the animals are most likely to be. Due to the accommodation manoeuvring regularly, these camps are normally made up from a number of luxury tents. These tents however, dispel all traditional myths of what may come to mind if you think of camping. Their furnishings are luxurious and all your needs will be met. Their placement is also extra-close to the action and will certainly make you feel more at one with nature. If you have the opportunity to stay in these mobile camps, do it.
Best Beach Hotels
Just like the safari camps, there are many varying options when it comes to accommodation by the beach. Generally the more you pay, the more intimate and luxurious your accommodation will be, however we have options that can cater for all budgets. The beach hotels we offer can either be the base for a perfect romantic getaway or for an ideal adventure and activity filled holiday.
Best Safari Lodges
It is very hard to rank Africa lodges with one simple measure! Our ranking is subjective and tries to reflect value for money as well as overall quality. Therefore we may award just three stars to certain 'five star' lodges in the hotel, or five stars to some superb, unashamed 'three star' hotels that are great value for money.

Onguma’s The Fort’s name is warranted. The desert-coloured geometric complex sits in the middle of the Etosha with brilliant views into the surrounding pans. Set in amongst 100s of camel thorn trees, it feels like The Fort could have been there for years, weaving in and out of its natural surroundings. It’s also exceptionally good value for money.


Loved cleaning up after our time in the bush and taking a nice swim in the pool
Excellent food at the restaurant

Pafuri Camp has bundles of charm and feels truly wild in the unfenced far north of the Kruger National Park. It’s one for those who don’t want to break the bank, but seek an authentic safari with fabulous wildlife set away from the crowds of the south. While it’s not uber plush, there are comforts like a pool and classic safari luxuries to make your stay special.

Locates 40 minutes form the Avenue of the Baobabs, this makes for a great spot form which to explore Madagascar or just relax with a drink in the hand!

Situated on the southwest coast of Nosy Be Island and near the village of Ambondrona just 30 minutes from the airport, this elegant and modern resort has 63 rooms, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, a pool and luxurious spa, perfect for that relaxing getaway in the sun.

The lodge was in perfect condition and their cooks are simply amazing, we've never so good food in Africa before and best of all, it was local and included game. We've been disappointed in e.g. Kenya when the food was more European pizza-pasta -style. As a private resort it's not as animal rich as some national parks but that was really an advantage as one (read: the guide) had to make some effort to find the animals, especially the more rare ones.
The animals are also less used to cars. In Maasai Mara it was a bit annoying that there was a lion family under every second tree, and the guides made noise simply to wake them up. Zimbabwe got high on our list for future trips so we'll most definitely be back.

The word Pelo in Setswana means ‘heart’ – a fitting name inspired by the distinct heart-shaped island on which the camp is built in the heart of the Jao Concession. This is the Delta as it is meant to be enjoyed – remote, genuine, and wild.
